Review: HITMAN 2
The HITMAN games are some of my favourites ever, and I think the reason is that they feature such creative ways of killing people. While other games focus on more vanilla means of murder like guns and swords, the HITMAN games want you to be a little smarter. HITMAN games have always offered elaborate murder […]
Review: Party Hard 2
Often, the objective of a game is to have as much fun as possible. GTA, Skyrim, Fallout, these games are all about letting you do all manner of crazy sandbox stuff. However, Party Hard was a game that was about the total opposite, namely stopping someone’s fun. The premise was fairly simple: it’s 3 AM […]
Review: Fall Of Light: Darkest Edition
I have been writing reviews for almost 2 years now and the journey has been great. You get to play doctor with a video game and analyze every frame of that title with the sole objective of getting a final diagnosis that you are content with. Sometimes, however, the diagnosis is not a pleasant one […]
Review: INK
As I mention frequently on here, platformers need a gimmick or a sort of universal selling point. The platforming core remains fairly consistent, but there needs to be a – no pun intended – game changer. In the case of INK, the game changer is the color mechanic. Essentially, you don’t really ‘see’ the level, […]
Review: Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion
An animated series that has been popular for more than 10 years now, Adventure Time is back in a videogame adaptation with the weird name of Adventure Time: Pirates of the Enchiridion. While it’s not the first time that Jake the dog and Finn the human are both in a game, but it is their first turn-based […]
Review: Mugsters
When I mention Team 17, you probably would think of games like The Escapists or the Worms franchise, but this British based developer has become quite a big studio and publishing house nowadays. After a series of games from their own studio, the amazing Yoku’s Island Express (which we reviewed a while ago) as well as […]
Review: Moonlighter
Ah, roguelike dungeon crawlers. The bread and butter of the indie gaming scene. For the most part, ‘roguelike’ nowadays just means permadeath and randomly generated dungeons. The gameplay of roguelikes does vary quite a bit, but there’s always the central mechanic of trying, again and again, to finally reach that goal. In this sense roguelikes […]
Review: The Fall Part 2: Unbound
Around four years after the original game, The Fall Part 2: Unbound is a direct sequel that will delight the players who have put their hands on the excellent title from Over the Moon. This second part resumes the adventure where its predecessor had left us, and after my recent review of the original The […]
Review: Omensight
Omensight is the latest installment of the indie developers we all grew to love Spearhead Games. The game is set in the world of Urralia which is on the brink of total annihilation. You are the Harbinger, a fierce female warrior who is sent to change the fate of this world stuck in a never-ending […]
Review: Cologne
Futuristic racers are making a big comeback now, and Cologne is the latest in a series of titles that want to bring back the ol’ F-Zero vibe to racing games. Cologne is more stripped down, however, having more in common with arcade titles you can play on your phone than fully fledged racers. However, arcade […]
